Chapter 35: Invasion of the Duchy of Statein
"Is that the Duchy of Stantin ahead?" asked Sharon with narrowed eyes as he looked at the coastline in the distance.
"Yes, Lord Sharon, you can reach the Earl of Dole by going ashore a short distance ahead. Standing beside him was a middle-aged man with a kind face and a slightly chubby body, who replied respectfully.
"It's a pity that it's no longer his territory. Sha Long said coldly.
"Yes, yes, Count Dole is still in prison in the Duchy of State, and his private domain has long been reclaimed by the Congress of the Duchy of Statein. The middle-aged man immediately laughed.
Sha Long grabbed it and asked, "I heard that all the private lands of the nobles of your Duchy of Stantin have been taken back by the Congress?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the middle-aged man's face: "Yes, I took it all back last year." So the place in front of it said that it was the domain of Count Dole, but in fact it was only the territory he used to have. ”
"Why would you agree?" asked Shalon, with some curiosity. "Count Andrei, private domains are more important to nobles than their lives, and as a result, the Principality of Stantin's Congress took back your territory, and you actually agreed to it?"
The middle-aged man known as Count Andre sighed with a wry smile: "What can you do if you don't agree? This is forced by that guy Xu Yi, if we don't agree, what awaits us must be the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." ”
Hearing Count Andre mention the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the expression on Shalon's face became a little more solemn, he pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very strong?"
Count André suddenly shook slightly. There was a hint of horror in his eyes. Nodding vigorously, he said, "Very strong." It's really strong!Lord Shalon. With all due respect, although these subordinates you brought are elite, they ...... If you are facing the escort of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, please be careful. ”
Sharon frowned slightly, turned his head, and looked at his subordinates who had already gathered on the deck and were on standby, a little uncertain in his heart.
Although before departure. He had collected a lot of information about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but he was able to obtain not much information, and even less of it described the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team.
The only thing that can reflect the combat effectiveness of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team is their several attacks on some nobles in the Duchy of Stantin.
Because of the lack of information, Sharon did not know the details of these attacks.
Judging from the results, the personal guards of these nobles of the Duchy of Stantin were completely powerless in front of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and finally let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have the absolute right to speak in the Duchy of Statein.
But in Chalon's view, this result does not mean anything.
Because these nobles of the Duchy of Stantin are simply a group of rural rich people in the eyes of Chalon, the so-called personal guards under them are probably just a group of random guys who are not much stronger than ordinary people, not only have no training at all. I'm afraid that even the basic equipment is not complete, and what combat effectiveness is there at all.
So if you extrapolate from this aspect. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team crushed these nobles of the Duchy of Stantin, and they didn't show any combat effectiveness at all, and supporting them to death could only show that they could still be regarded as a relatively regular team.
After thinking for a moment, Sharon shook his head.
"Forget it, no matter how strong it is, it's just the escort team of a small chamber of commerce, how strong can it be. ”
Although in front of the Duke of Windsor, Sharon still maintained a cautious attitude and advised the Duke of Windsor to pay more attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but in his heart, he actually did not really take the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in his eyes.
In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in a small principality like the Duchy of Stantin, how can its strength be comparable to the subordinates of the dignified governor of the southern provinces of the Candela Empire.
A smile appeared on the corner of Chalon's lips as he looked at the Duke of Windsor's personal guards on the deck, dressed in bright armor and armed with sharp weapons.
This time, the Duke can send a full three thousand of his most elite subordinates to bring him over, and under his command, not to mention the small Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even the entire Duchy of Stantin can be easily captured.
What's more, he can be very sure that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not dare to really do anything with him at all.
In the previous incident with Count Dole, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did it, it did not kill any of the subordinates brought by the Duchess from beginning to end, which already shows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must have quite scruples in their hearts.
"Hey, seeing that I brought so many elites this time, if that President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is smart enough, he should know that his only choice is to be obedient. ”
Ten ships carrying the three thousand elite men of the Duke of Windsor brought with them gradually approached the shore with the sea breeze.
It was a small port under the control of Count André, and the location was very remote, and the arrival of the ten sea ships did not attract anyone's attention.
The 3,000 elite men brought by Sha Long and his ships disembarked and immediately headed for the depths of the shore.
According to the plan, he planned to enter the private estate of Count Dole with these 3,000 elite subordinates, occupy it, and settle down temporarily, and then slowly negotiate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, as soon as the group stepped out of the cliff where the harbor was located, they were confronted by a team of about 300 people.
Looking at the group of guys in front of him who looked like soldiers, but were only wearing simple armor and holding all kinds of strange things in their hands, Charon raised his eyebrows at Count Andrei beside him and asked, "Who are these guys?"
Count Andrei's expression was a little nervous, and he replied in a low voice, "They are the subordinates of a nearby nobleman. It's weird, why did they get here today? Did they get some message?"
"It's not the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort......" Sha Long seemed a little disappointed, then turned his head and nodded to the captain of the guard beside him. "Kill them, don't let one go. ”
Hearing Chalon's order, Count André was taken aback.
"Lord Shalon, you ......"
Before he could say a word, the captain of the guard standing beside Sharon had already waved his hand and made an attack gesture.
This time, Chalons brought elite subordinates of the Duke of Windsor. Usually well-trained. After receiving the order. In an instant, five hundred people raised their bows and arrows, and a moment later, a rain of arrows flew towards the three hundred or so people on the opposite side.
The people on the other side were looking at the sudden appearance of a large group of people with curiosity and confusion, but suddenly they saw countless arrows flying towards them, and they were immediately startled.
Caught off guard, the rain of arrows has fallen one after another.
"Ding Ding Ding-"
Countless arrows mercilessly smashed on the extremely light and simple armor on the more than three hundred people, making a crisp sound.
"Hmph, a rabble. Sharon pursed his lips disdainfully.
And yet the next moment. The sneer on his lips froze instantly.
Although the rain of arrows unsurprisingly covered the more than 300 people, and none of them escaped the net, after the rain of arrows fell, all the arrows hit the armor on those people, but they did not bring even the slightest casualties!
Seeing that all the three hundred or so people on the opposite side were standing safely, Shalon's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
The armor on those guys on the other side looked so light, how could they be unscathed under the sharp bows and arrows of these elites he brought?
Turning his head to look at the captain of the guard, he was also shocked, obviously not believing the reality he saw.
However, the three hundred or so people on the other side were stunned for a moment by the sudden attack. React quickly.
", brothers. They want to kill us, fight them!" a roar rang out among the three hundred or so men.
Hearing this, Sha Long snorted coldly, thinking to himself that although the armor on your guys is a little peculiar, with only about 300 people, you dare to come and fight with my 3,000 elite subordinates?
I don't know if I'm alive or dead!
"Ike, kill them, don't show mercy. Sharon ordered the captain of the guard beside him in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir. ”
Ike, the captain of the guard, was just about to raise his hand to give the order to attack, but he saw that the more than 300 people on the opposite side raised the strange and strange things they were holding in their hands and aimed them at this side.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Countless dense and almost connected sounds suddenly sounded, and the row of the Duke of Windsor's personal guards at the front of the line couldn't even let out a wail, and fell down in an instant.
The first row fell, followed by the second and third rows......
As if harvesting straw, the phalanx of guards, which was originally considered a perfect formation, instantly appeared a huge gap due to the fall of hundreds of people.
Seeing this, Sha Long gasped.
The group of guys on the opposite side were moving in a mess, and at first glance they weren't some of the elite who had been strictly trained, but they were holding the strange thing in their hands, and they could actually burst out with such a strong combat power in an instant.
"Is this a military magic machine?" asked Charon to Count Andrew, who was beside him.
Count Andre's face was extremely ugly, and he slowly shook his head and said, "No, this is just a magic crossbow, and it is not a real military magic machine......"
"Isn't that counted, isn't the real military magic machine even more powerful?" Sha Long was shocked, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the men he brought with him had once again added hundreds of casualties to the effort of talking here.
Although Captain Ike wanted to organize a counterattack, although the opponent was only about 300 people, the crossbow arrows released were extremely dense, and they were suppressed without any gap.
Fortunately, after all, the elite brought by the Duke of Windsor this time was the Duke of Windsor, but after a moment of panic, they each found cover and barely survived the attack.
Count Andre and Sha Long hid behind a big rock, and after probing out to take a look, they said to Sha Long in a deep voice: "Lord Sha Long, I will lead them to retreat immediately, and it is best to return to the Candela Empire immediately." ”
Sha Long frowned, and wanted to say that I have a full 3,000 subordinates on my side, and there are only about 300 people on the other side, so why should I retreat.
However, the fact in front of him was that the attack power of the other party's more than 300 people was actually stronger than his 3,000 subordinates, and they were suppressed so that they had no power to fight back.
But in any case, it is absolutely impossible to choose to retreat now.
Sharon gestured to Captain Ike and told him to wait for the opponent's offensive to pause before launching a counterattack.
Ike nodded in understanding.
Only then did Sharon turn his head and continue to ask Count Andrew: "Count Andrei, you said that this is not a real military magic machine, then you sue me, is the power of the real military magic machine even more amazing?"
"That's right. The real military magic machine is far more powerful than you think......"
"Boom-"
The big stone behind the two suddenly exploded, and the two people hiding behind couldn't react at all, and were hit by the debris in the sky, and fainted instantly. (To be continued......)
